    Nice!

    ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

    Please also do the Public Consultation on private parking this month. Motorists need an impartial Single Appeals Service and a complete ban on DRA 'fees' which encourage cases to go to court.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    First Post
    Had the same today - 

    So hearing was today - Judge was very dismissive of the VCS / DBS claim - firstly he kicked out their supplementary witness statement out as it was 12 days after the deadline and then kicked their case out as it was based on an unsigned out of date contract - he was then very ind to award me costs on a £95 for my day off work & parking & petrol. He finished off by refusing their right to appeal.

    Great day for VCS & DBS

    In case you come back and see this, I've added some pointers to the thread below to help support answers to the questions in the government's Public Consultation if you haven't done it yet.

    Their proposals are wrong. We must stop them:

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6617396/parking-code-of-practice-consultation-8-weeks-from-11th-july-2025/p1

    We need every poster to come back & complete this vital Consultation before the deadline! Just 2 weeks left but please don't rush it. You can do some then save it and come back to it as you have time.

    We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that.

    I'm taking a closer look this week and we'll walk people through the questions, and tell you what I'm going to put and/or what sort of evidence you might wish to use for your response, if you agree with what we'll be saying from our experience.

    I've covered up to question 20 already on that thread.

    Whilst your answers must of course be your own, there are vital points to safeguard motorists interests to make, that many people may not think of without our guidance because we see cases every day and we know the legal background. There won't be a template - the survey is for you to reply in your words - but we'll help everyone with what to focus on.

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
